The motion to vacate is nothing more that allowing the House to have the ability to choose another speaker during the session or during the congress if it feels the need to.

This would be a primary motion, Therefore .democrats could play havoc by constantly bringing the motion and stopping all business until the motion is addressed. Then we know if .democrats regain majority they would eliminate the rule so Republicans could not challenge their speaker.

The Democrats have already removed the rule in the last congresses, and it should be restored.
The House sets the rules at the beginning of the Congress, so they could not change it mid-congress.
We can’t go through life worrying what the Democrats might do. The motion to vacate the chair is a legislative check to oligarchic power and should be restored.
